To ensure comprehensive and accurate insights, feedback was collected through the following channels:

3. Key Feedback Themes
From the collected data, several key themes and areas for improvement emerged. These themes were categorized to focus on the user experience, content organization, site performance, and customer support.
A. User Experience (UX) Feedback
- Navigation Ease:
- Feedback: Users expressed difficulty in navigating through specific categories, especially with broader sections like “Real Estate” or “Jobs.” The search filters were not intuitive enough to quickly narrow down results.
- Actionable Insights:
- Enhance search functionality with more filters and categories.
- Refine category structure to allow users to quickly find relevant content (e.g., residential vs. commercial properties).
- Improve categorization consistency across similar listings, such as offering a “Property Type” filter (House, Apartment, etc.).
- Mobile Usability:
- Feedback: Users highlighted that the mobile version of the classified section was often harder to navigate compared to the desktop version, with some buttons and links not being responsive.
- Actionable Insights:
- Optimize mobile layout for easier navigation and responsiveness.
- Test button sizes and click areas to ensure they are easily tappable on smaller devices.
- User Interface Design (UI):
- Feedback: Some users found the design cluttered, especially when viewing multiple listings within a single category. This issue was particularly prominent in “Buy & Sell” and “Vehicles & Automotive.”
- Actionable Insights:
- Simplify the UI with more space between listings and reduce visual clutter.
- Implement card-style designs with clear separation between listing details.
B. Content Organization Feedback
- Category Clarity:
- Feedback: Users found it difficult to differentiate between certain categories, such as “Jobs” and “Business & Commercial,” leading to confusion when searching for relevant posts.
- Actionable Insights:
- Create clearer subcategories to further specify content types, such as “Remote Jobs” under “Jobs” and “Business Sales” under “Business & Commercial.”
- Introduce a “featured” or “highlighted” section to allow for easy access to high-traffic categories.
- Search & Filter Efficiency:
- Feedback: The filtering options for various categories, especially “Real Estate” and “Vehicles,” were not sufficiently detailed, making it harder for users to find specific listings.
- Actionable Insights:
- Expand search filters to include location-based filters (e.g., city, neighborhood) and additional listing attributes (e.g., price range, square footage for real estate).
- Implement predictive search to suggest keywords and categories as users type.
- Category Overlap:
- Feedback: Users mentioned that some listings were incorrectly categorized, which caused confusion. For example, “Part-time Jobs” was sometimes categorized under “Freelance” or “Full-time Jobs.”
- Actionable Insights:
- Review and refine the categorization criteria for each section, ensuring that all listings are placed in the correct primary and secondary categories.
- Enhance content tagging and labeling to improve searchability and reduce misclassification.
C. Site Performance Feedback
- Page Load Speed:
- Feedback: Several users reported slow loading times, particularly when browsing high-volume categories like “Buy & Sell” and “Jobs.”
- Actionable Insights:
- Optimize image and content loading speeds by compressing images and implementing lazy loading.
- Upgrade server infrastructure to handle high traffic periods and ensure smoother performance.
- Ad Display Issues:
- Feedback: Ads with images were not loading consistently, which negatively impacted the overall user experience. Users also reported issues with video ads not playing correctly.
- Actionable Insights:
- Conduct quality checks on all ad types before they are published.
- Improve media compatibility for different devices and browsers.
D. Customer Support & Assistance
- Difficulty in Contacting Support:
- Feedback: Users felt there were not enough support options when encountering issues, especially regarding ad approval or category classification.
- Actionable Insights:
- Implement more accessible support channels, such as live chat or a more prominent help section on the platform.
- Provide clearer guidance on how users can submit complaints or ask for assistance with ad-related issues.
- Response Time:
- Feedback: Many users felt that the response time for queries was too slow, especially in cases where urgent assistance was required.
- Actionable Insights:
- Set up automated responses for common inquiries (e.g., ad approval status, category clarification).
- Improve response times by hiring more support staff during peak hours or by implementing a more efficient ticketing system.
